We do not have any tangerines this week. The order was never delivered so we had to make a quick decision to switch to beets. On the bright side the beets were picked within hours of you receiving them. Enjoy.

Our chickens have taken a break for the winter time. Our egg supply has dropped drastically and we don’t have enough to fill orders. We will randomly select people weekly to receive eggs as they are available. We will be back in action as soon as the weather warms up and the days get longer. At that time we also will be fulfilling our wait list, so make sure to sign up if you want them in the near future.
Speaking of chickens, perhaps I counted them before they hatched. When we went to harvest the brussel sprouts we came up short to fill the whole CSA. So we switched over to our green cabbage. The climate for cabbage is perfect right now. The cold weather makes the cabbage extra crisp and sweet. So roast it, stir fry it or juice it and enjoy.10 Reasons to Eat What’s in Season!

It is extremely muddy on the farm this week. Thank goodness for the rain! If you are picking up your share at the farm be sure to drive extra slow and carefully. We hope you enjoy our winter selection of crops in your box this week. The celery has been extra tasty because of all the moisture its been getting. Winter means that all the crops grow at about 1/4 of the speed they would during the rest of the year and our variety is more limited. If you’ve created a tasty dish please share it with us on Instagram #Somethinggoodorganics or on our facebook page at John Givens Farm. Or just send it to me in an email and I’ll post it in the blog.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone is enjoying the last of the holiday season. After so eating so much food I’m really excited to get my CSA box home and fill my fridge with veggies. I’m working on meal prepping (for me and the baby, farm to high chair!), eating more greens and getting some vegetable juice down at least once a week. Getting a juicer is a GREAT investment for your health. And in the midst of the green vegetable season it couldn’t be a better time. Enjoy the box. Share your creations with us on Instagram.
